Answer:

He needs 6 more spoons

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Jimmy needs 3/4 cups of flour and only has 1/8 cups as his measuring spoon, we can do 3/4 = x/8

Now, we need to make the denominator the same, so we will multiply 2 from the numerator and denominator in 3/4.

Afterwards, the equation would be : 6/8 = x/8

x = 6

Suppose that p is the probability that a randomly selected person is left handed. The value (1-p) is the probability that the pe

solmaris [256]

Answer:

a) 1/2

b) 250

Step-by-step explanation:

The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for $p$ such that $1000p(1-p)$ is maximized. Once we have that $p$ , we can easily find the answer to part b.

Finding the value that maximizes $1000p(1-p)$ is the same as finding the value that maximizes $p(1-p)$ , just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize $p(1-p)$ . To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.

$p(1-p)=p-p^2=-p^2+p=-(p^2-p)=-(p^2-p+1/4)-(-1/4)=-(p-1/2)^2+1/4$ .

Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of $p$ such that the inner part of the square term is equal to $0$ .

$p-1/2=0\\p=1/2$ .

So, the answer to part a is $\boxed{1/2}$ .

We can then plug $1/2$ into the equation for p to find the answer to part b.

$1000(1/2)(1-1/2)=1000(1/2)(1/2)=1000*1/4=250$ .

So, the answer to part b is $\boxed{250}$ .

And we're done!

If the demand function for a commodity is given by the equation

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Equilibrium quantity = 26.92

Equilibrium price is $31.13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Demand function : $p^2 + 16q = 1400$

Supply function : $700 -p^2 + 10q = 0$

To Find : find the equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price.

Solution:

Demand function : $p^2 + 16q = 1400$ --A

Supply function : $p^2-10q=700$ ---B

Now to find the equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price.

Solve A and B

Subtract B from A

$p^2-10q -p^2-16q=700-1400$

$-26q=-700$

$26q=700$

$q=\frac{700}{26}$

$q=26.92$

So, equilibrium quantity = 26.92

Substitute the value of q in A

$p^2 + 16(26.92) = 1400$

$p^2 + 430.72 = 1400$

$p^2 = 1400- 430.72$

$p^2 = 969.28$

$p = \sqrt{969.28}$

$p = 31.13$

So, equilibrium price is $31.13
